Quality Control (QC) - Short Term Loudness

Issue

The average level of the audio when measured in 3 second intervals is too loud.

Description

Whereas Average Loudness is measured over the entire duration of the file, Short Term Loudness is measured over 3 second intervals and cannot measure above a specified limit.

Please check the Peach Connect File Specifications required for the region and Ad type you are trying to upload.

Fix

The audio level of the file needs to be adjusted. An Audio Loudness Measure should be used to check the level and adjust if needed. It may also be possible adjust the level of the audio on export. 

Our Peach Connect Export Guides can help you ensure your settings are correct when exporting files.

Note

Please refer to the EBU R128 documentation for full technical details.
